King's Bounty - Preview @ IGN

A short look at King's Bounty is up at IGN:

Along with your hero you'll acquire an army, and accruing leadership points through combat will allow you command them more effectively, but it seems to be the hero that gets most of the cool abilities. On the character equip screen you'll be able to view statistics and a variety of special abilities that can be powered up by acquiring different kinds of runes, as well as swap in and out equipment.

You can also see your wife. Yes, you'll be able to marry in the game, something you actually choose to do in the game. In this case the wife provided a few extra inventory slots and, because she'd given birth to a child, granted an experience bonus. Kind of a cold, impersonal kind of relationship, but whatever.
